Volunteers are essential to the success of Challenge Day! Below, you'll find all available volunteer opportunities.
Age requirements are noted for each position. Please review them carefully before signing up.

For those volunteering as a group, rest stop positions are a perfect choice. Teams can make the area their own by decorating and bringing cheering materials to create an energetic spot to cheer on riders.

If you are part of a group looking to volunteer together, please email us at anti-cancerchallenge@uci.edu.
